Buried Treasure: 'Glory Road'

In the never-ending quest for cinematic gems hidden in the weekly TV listings, here's what I'll be watching this week:

What: "Glory Road" (2006), the locally filmed story of the first all-black team to vie for the NCAA basketball championship. Josh Lucas, Derek Luke and Jon Voight star.

When: Tonight at 7; Sunday at 7 and 9:30 p.m.; and Tuesday at 6 p.m.

Where: TNT cable channel.

Why: Though director James Gartner doesn't exhibit any visual flair to speak of, he has storytelling chops, assembling an engaging and inspirational piece. Eagle-eyed viewers will spot local scenery galore, since the film was shot throughout the New Orleans area, including at the Jesuit High and Chalmette High gyms.
